MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

GEL provides employment to about 22,500 people.

GEL blends its manufacturing expertise with state of the art design capabilities to provide multiproduct offerings.GEL’s reliability and consistent quality from design to delivery at the right cost helps to meet customer demands.

GEL has a diversified product portfolio across various categories of garments for men, women as well as children.Contribution of women’s garments to revenue has grown from 38% in 2014-15 to 50% in 2015-16 making it thelargest category. GEL’s expertise lies in manufacturing tops and outerwear which very few manufacturers in Indiacan match. The chart below depicts various categories catered to by GEX:

Industry Scenario

The global apparel retail market is valued at USD 1.1 trillion with EU (32%), US (20%), China (14%), Japan (10%)contributing to 75% of the market.India contributed about 4% of the global apparel exports in 2015.

The Government of India implemented three major initiatives during this financial year to promote the apparelexports industry.

• Interest subvention scheme of 3% on all Rupee denominated pre and post shipment credit

• Enhanced duty drawback capping

• 2% export benefit on all exports to notified countries

Category Movement

The following graph shows the product mix for the last two years. GEL is focusing on high margin products viz.tops and jackets.The share of business from jackets has increased from 35% in 2013-14 to 39% in 2015-16 and topshas increased from 20% to 29%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISApart from this, the new textile policy announced recently by the Govt. of India will promote employment generation,economies of scale and boost exports. It is slated to generate over 1 crore jobs in the textile and apparel industry,attract investments of about INR 74,000 crore and increase exports by $30 billion over the next three years. Withsupport from the textile policy, India’s apparel export is expected to increase from about $17 billion to $40 billionover the next three years.

The volatility in the market and currencies following Britain’s decision to exit the EU could hurt the Indian apparelmarket.However, it is unlikely to have a major impact on GEL due to the low GBP exposure. Demand scenario islooking up in the US with the economy showing signs of improvement. Intra-Asia trade is likely to expand furtherwith a growth in demand and new Trade agreements viz. ASEAN and SAFTA. Domestic growth will be driven by theshift towards organised retail and growth in online retail.

On the supply side, China continues its dominance with over one-third market share. There is a strong indication offall in demand for apparel manufactured in China due to rising costs in the country. This demand is being capturedby Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and India.

The U.S apparel market is the largest in the world, comprising of about a fourth of the global market and has amarket value in excess of 225 billion U.S dollar.

As shown in the below table, exports from India to USA has grown by 7.8% in CY15 over CY14. The total value ofapparel exports to the US has increased by 4% during the same period.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISGEL’s geo-wise revenue share is in line with the company strategy. The share of revenue from Europe and NorthAmerica has increased over last year and share from Asia has declined significantly.

GEL’s revenue share from various geographical locations in 2013-14,2014-15 and 2015-16 is shown below:

Opportunities and Challenges

India’s textile industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world, exporting to over 100 countries. It is asignificant contributor to India’s overall export earnings and employs over 35 million people directly, making it thesecond largest source of employment after agriculture in the country.

India’s apparel exports grew 4% YoY in 2015-16. With a market share of 4% of global apparel trade, India has anenormous opportunity to grow. Some strategic advantages are listed below -

• Large fiber base: it is the 3rd largest cotton producing country in the world (second only to US and China)

• Second largest cotton yarn exporter

• Large pool of skilled labour and competitive wage rate

• Design and product development capabilities

• Integrated and efficient supply chain

• Higher compliance standards as compared to some of the Asian counterparts

• Stable political and social environment which is attractive to buyers in North America and Europe

• Growing domestic demand

Further, rising wage costs In China and quality related issues and the recent disturbance in Bangladesh could leadto customer migration to India.

However above opportunities are coupled with challenges stemming from macroeconomic forces. Some challengesthat the apparel industry in India continues to face are -

- Uncertain demand from certain parts of western countries

- Pricing pressures at retail level and hence across the value chain

- Rising wage costs on account of minimum wage increase and reduced availability of skilled labour

Bangladesh exports continue to enjoy duty benefits & Most Favoured Nation status for imports in certain Europeancountries. Vietnam’s market share has increased from 4% in 2014 to 5% in 2015.

Key Focus Areas

Key focus areas for the company focused towards growth:

• Focus on profitable growth by increasing share of business with existing customers as well as focus on developingnew strategic customers

• Reduce operating costs by consolidating factories

• Maximize capacity utilization and sewing efficiency

• Set up production capacity in tier II and tier III towns to attract low cost labour with low attrition rates

Risks and concerns

As an export driven enterprise with more than 80% revenues being denominated in USD/EURO, we are exposed tocurrency fluctuation risks. Forex related risks are being mitigated through robust foreign currency risk managementpractices.

Rise in wage costs and inflationary conditions in the country may have an adverse impact on the profitability of thecompany. Further, there could be pricing pressure from customers in the current macroeconomic scenario.

Any change in government policies which adversely impacts us may hurt our competitiveness.

Change in government policies of competitive countries favouring the respective country's industry may affect thecompetitiveness of the Indian apparel industry.

The recoverableamount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, theestimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate thatreflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Afterimpairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaininguseful life

l) Taxation

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected tobe paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflectsthe impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the yearand reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty thatsufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Insituations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax assetis recognised only to the extent that it has timing differences the reversal of which will result in sufficientincome or there is other convincing evidence that sufficient taxable income will be available against whichsuch deferred tax assets can be realised.

At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises deferredtax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be thatsufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes-downthe carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtuallycertain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred taxasset can be realised.

Minimum Alternative Tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognised, as an asset only when and to the extent there isconvincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the yearin which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with therecommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India,the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as MAT CreditEntitlement. The Company reviews the same at each reporting date and writes down the carrying amountof MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Companywill pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

m) Employee stock compensation cost

Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with theSecurities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 and the GuidanceNote on Accounting for Employee Share - based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India. The Company accounts for stock compensation expense based on the intrinsic value of the optionsgranted, determined on the date of grant. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period ofthe option on a straight - line basis. The accounting value of the options outstanding net of the DeferredCompensation Expense is reflected as Employee Stock Options Outstanding.

n) Accounting for leases

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leasedterm, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in thestatement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

which are not allocated any segment.

(iii) Segment Policies:

Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equityshare to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity shareduring the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the periodis adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split;and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjustedfor the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

r) Contingent Liability

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the controls of theCompany or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare caseswhere there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Companydoes not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

s) Cash and Cash equivalents

38 Employee stock option Plans (Equity Settled)

In September 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved Stock Option Plan (ESOP 2010) in accordancewith the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for Employees Stock OptionsPlan. The plan covered all employees of the Company including employees of subsidiaries and directors andprovided for the issue of 1,718,800 shares of Rs. 5 each. The Company follows intrinsic method of accountingfor stock compensation cost pursuant to the Guidance Note on "Accounting for Employee Share - Based Payments"issued by the "Institute of Chartered Accountants of India".

Nil (2015: 85,000) options have been granted during the year and 408,339 (2015: 1,136,668) are outstandingas at March 31, 2016. The vesting period ranges from 1 to 7 years. Weighted average of remaining contractuallife is 7.37 years (2015: 8.35 years). The weighted average exercise price of all the options is Rs. 42.34 (2015: Rs.40.89). There is no compensation cost since the exercise price is equal to the intrinsic value as at the date ofgrant.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was Rs. Nil (2015: Rs.55.86). The Black Scholesvaluation model has been used for computing the weighted average fair value considering the following inputs:

31 March 2016 31 March 2015

Dividend yield % * -

Expected volatility % * 45.50%

Risk free interest rate * 7.95%

Weighted average share price * 40.89

Exercise price * 80.20

Expected life of options granted in years * 10

* Not applicable since no ESOP’s were granted during the year.

The expected life of the stock is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicativeof exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatilityover a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be theactual outcome.

39 During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company has recognised deferred tax asset to the extent that thereis virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence based on the future profitability and projections of theCompany, backed by confirmed customer orders on hand as at the year end. The Management believes thatthere is sufficient assurance that future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax assets canbe realized.

40 The Company is in process of taking necessary steps to comply with the Transfer Pricing requirementsrelating to the preparation & maintenance of the Transfer Pricing documentation with respect to the specifieddomestic transactions entered into by the Company during financial year ended March 31, 2016. TheManagement is of the opinion that the specified domestic transactions are at arm’s length and hence theaforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the standalone financial statements, particularly on theamount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidatedfinancial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Although these estimates arebased upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomes requiring material adjustment to the carrying amountsof assets and liabilities in future periods.

b) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group andthe revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods aretransferred to the customer.

Export incentives are recognized on accrual basis in accordance with the applicable schemes formulated,by the Government of India and where there is reasonable assurance that the enterprise will comply withthe conditions attached to them.

c) Hedge accounting

The Group is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities and forecastedcash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The Group limits the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuationsby following established risk management policies including the use of forward cover derivatives.

The Group has adopted principles of hedge accounting as set out in Accounting Standard (AS) 30,"FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement", to the extent that the adoption does not conflict with existingaccounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of Company Law and other regulatory requirements.

Based on the recognition and measurement principles of hedge accounting set out in AS 30, the effectiveportion on changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges arerecognized directly in reserves/ equity and are reclassified to the statement of profit and loss upon theoccurrence of the hedged transaction.

Changes in fair value relating to derivatives notdesignated as hedges are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Hedge Accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, or terminated, or exercisedor no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.

If the carrying amount of theasset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and lossto the extent the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greaterof the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows arediscounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments ofthe time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. After impairment, depreciation is provided on therevised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

g) Inventories

Raw materials, packing materials, stores, spares, and consumables are valued at lower of cost and netrealizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. However, materials and other items heldfor use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in whichthey will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Finished goods and work in progress are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value after consideringprovision for obsolescence and other anticipated loss, wherever considered necessary. Finished goods andwork in progress includes cost of conversion and other production overheads. Cost is determined on aweighted average basis. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs ofcompletion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

h) Foreign currency transactions

(i) Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currencyamount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

(ii) Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items which arecarried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchangerate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or othersimilar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existedwhen the values were determined.

However, provision for diminutionin value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments. On disposal ofan investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged / creditedto statement of profit and loss.

k) Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans:

Contributions to provident fund are made at pre-determined rates and charged to the statement ofprofit and loss for the year when the employee renders the services. The Group has no obligation, otherthan the contribution payable to the provident fund.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans:

The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelvemonths, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absencesare provided for based on the basis of an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the yearend. Actuarial gains or losses are immediately taken to statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. TheGroup presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditionalright to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting date.

l) Taxation

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected tobe paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflectsthe impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the yearand reversal of timing differences of earlier years

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty thatsufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Insituations where the Group has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax asset isrecognised only to the extent that it has timing differences the reversal of which will result in sufficientincome or there is other convincing evidence that sufficient taxable income will be available against whichsuch deferred tax assets can be realised.

At each reporting date, the Group re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises deferred taxassets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be thatsufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Group writes-down thecarrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtuallycertain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred taxasset can be realised.

Minimum Alternative Tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognised, as an asset only when and to the extent there isconvincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year inwhich the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendationscontained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset iscreated by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. TheGroup reviews the same at each reporting date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT CreditEntitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Group will pay normalIncome Tax during the specified period.

m) Employee stock compensation cost

Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance withSecurities Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 and the GuidanceNote on Accounting for Employee Share - based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India. The Group accounts for stock compensation expense based on the intrinsic value of the optionsgranted, determined on the date of grant. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period ofthe option on a straight - line basis. The accounting value of the options outstanding net of the Deferred

Gokaldas Exports Ltd. Annual Report 2015-2016

Compensation Expense is reflected as Employee Stock Options Outstanding.

n) Accounting for leases

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leasedterm, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in thestatement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

o) Provisions

A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probablethat an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimatecan be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimaterequired to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These are reviewed at each reporting date andadjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

p) Segment Reporting Policies

(i) Identification of segments:

The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature ofproducts and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offersdifferent products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on theareas in which major operating divisions of the Group operate.

(ii) Basis of allocation:

Assets, liabilities, income and expenditure are allocated to each segment according to the relativecontribution of each segment to the total amount. Unallocated items include general corporate items,which are not allocated any segment.

(iii) Segment Policies:

The Group prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted forpreparing and presenting the consolidated financial statements of the Group as a whole.

q) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average numberof equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equityshare to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity shareduring the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the periodis adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split;and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjustedfor the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

r) Contingent Liability

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of theGroup or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where thereis a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognisea contingent liability but discloses its existence in the consolidated financial statements.

s) Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand andshort-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

35. Employee stock option Plans (Equity settled)

In September 2010, the shareholders of the Group approved Stock Option Plan (ESOP 2010) in accordance with theguidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for Employees Stock Options Plan. The plancovered all employees of the Group including employees of subsidiaries and directors and provided for the issue of1,718,800 shares of Rs. 5 each. The Group follows intrinsic method of accounting for stock compensation costpursuant to the Guidance Note on "Accounting for Employee Share - Based Payments" issued by the Institute ofChartered Accountants of India".

Nil (2015: 85,000) options have been granted during the year and 408,339 (2015: 1,136,668) are outstanding asat March 31, 2016. The vesting period ranges from 1 to 7 years. Weighted average of remaining contractual life is7.37 years (2015: 8.35 years). The weighted average exercise price of all the options is Rs. 42.34 (2015: Rs. 40.89).There is no compensation cost since the exercise price is equal to the intrinsic value as at the date of grant.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was Rs. Nil (2015: Rs.55.86). The Black Scholesvaluation model has been used for computing the weighted average fair value considering the following inputs:

31 March 2016 31 March 2015

Dividend yield % * -

Expected volatility % * 45.50%

Risk free interest rate * 7.95%

Weighted average share price * 40.89

Exercise price * 80.20

Expected life of options granted in years * 10

* Not applicable since no ESOP’s were granted during the year.

The expected life of the stock is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative

of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility

over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the

actual outcome.

36. During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Group has recognised deferred tax asset to the extent that there is

virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence based on the future profitability and projections backed by

the confirmed customer orders on hand as at the year end. The Management believes that there is sufficient

assurance that future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be realised.

37. The Group is in process of taking necessary steps to comply with the Transfer Pricing requirements relating to the

preparation & maintenance of the Transfer Pricing documentation with respect to the specified domestic

transactions entered into by the Group during financial year ended March 31, 2016. The Management is of the

opinion that the specified domestic transactions are at arm’s length and hence the aforesaid legislation will not

have any impact on the consolidated financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of

provision for taxation.

38. The Company had filed petition with the Company Law Board for compounding of offence u/s. 297 of the

erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 for the transactions entered with CMS Info Systems Private Limited between July

2009 to October 2011 and as at date, the petition is pending with the Company Law Board.

For periods subsequent to October 2011, the Company had filed an application with Central Government,

Ministry of Corporate Affairs, seeking its approval u/s. 297(1) of the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 for entering

into contract with CMS Info Systems Private Limited which is pending approval.
